Study Finds Spiking Premiums Courtesy of President Trump

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10 -- The Indiana Democratic Party issued the following statement by Chairman John Zody after a new study found that a double-digit spike in premiums on individual insurance policies in 2018 can be attributed to President Trump's actions:

"Congressional Republicans, including Congressman Luke Messer and Congressman Todd Rokita, have claimed that they've spoken out against rising premiums.

"Turns out the underlying source of those increases lies at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. The fallout from the GOP's intentional sabotage of the Affordable Care Act will mean tens of thousands of Hoosiers paying higher premiums.

"That's unacceptable. It's time for Republicans in Congress to drop the political games and work across the aisle to improve our nation's health care system."
